Ready to take your Emotle game to the next level? Here are some advanced strategies used by top players to solve even the trickiest daily puzzles.
Almost every Emotle answer contains at least one vowel (A, E, I, O, U). A common strategy is to use your first one or two guesses to "fish" for vowels. Words like ADIEU, AUDIO, or OUNCE are popular starters because they cover 3-4 vowels in a single go.
In the English language, certain letters appear much more frequently than others. After vowels, focus on high-frequency consonants like E, T, A, O, I, N, S, R, H, L, and D. Avoiding "expensive" letters like Q, X, J, and Z until you have a solid lead can save precious attempts.
Don't just look at emojis individually. Look at how they interact. A ❄️ followed by a 🏠 might mean "IGLOO", but a ❄️ followed by a 🏃 might mean "SKIING" or "SLIDE". The sequence often describes a process or a specific attribute of the hidden word.
Some puzzles use emojis for their phonetic sound rather than their meaning. While rare in the daily puzzle, keep an eye out for "rebus" style clues. For example, an 👁️ followed by a ❤️ might literally mean "I LOVE".
As you guess, the on-screen keyboard updates its colors. Use this as a map. If you know the word starts with "S" and ends with "E", but "T" and "A" are greyed out, you've significantly narrowed down the possibilities. Don't waste a guess on a word containing letters you already know are absent.
